Orbbec Astra S shares the same appearance, size, and weight as Orbbec Astra. The difference is that Astra S is optimized for short-range use cases, which makes it great for 3D scanning, face recognition, and other short range interactive systems. Like the Astra 3D camera, Astra S was developed to be highly compatible with existing OpenNI applications—making both the Astra and Astra S ideal cameras for pre-existing apps that were built with OpenNI.
Astra S now comes in a bundle with the powerful gestural Interaction SDK by Gestoos. Gestoos let’s you develop and enhance applications with gestural interaction in C++, Java and Processing.
